The Dictatorship of Ameriganastan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Lord Darius Varheim with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 37.703 billion Ameriganis are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Varheim City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Ameriganastanian economy, worth an astonishing 18,855 trillion Varheims a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 500,105 Varheims, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,776,481 per year while the poor average 101,458, a ratio of 17.5 to 1.

Parents who refuse to vaccinate their children are given a short jail sentence, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, blasphemers and government critics often die in very unusual and unlikely accidents, and citizens who become homeless are immediately executed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ameriganastan's national animal is the Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Church of Saraya.

Ameriganastan is ranked 52,431st in the world and 9th in The Alliance of Dictators for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 4,643.8 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
